apple/ios/iphone: maybe fix background album playback

Browse source 
good news: apple finally added support for samplerates other than
44100 for AudioContext, meaning it would now have been possible to
set non-100% volume for audio files including opus files

bad news: apple broke AudioContext in a way that makes it bug out
mediaSessions, causing lockscreen controls to become mostly useless

bad news: apple broke AudioContext additionally where it randomly
causes playback issues, blocking playback of audio files, even if
the AudioContext is sitting idle doing nothing (which is a
requirement for reliable upload speeds on other platforms)

disable AudioContext on iOS
